Chimaek Gana earns high praise for crispy, flavorful fried chicken and generous portions, with many diners raving about the Supreme chicken, Yangnyeom and other bold flavors that pair perfectly with a cold beer. The service is repeatedly described as friendly, attentive, and efficient, and the atmosphere is clean and welcoming, making it a solid pick for groups, dates, or casual meals. Reviewers also appreciate the variety of dishes from chicken and udon to conch salad, plus reliable sides like pickled radish and truffle fries, all offered at very reasonable prices for Montreal. A few notes mention menu changes and occasional pacing issues, but the overall experience remains highly recommended for those seeking great chicken, value, and a lively dining vibe.
Pretty damn good Korean friend chicken. When i went the service was pretty good, as soon we ran out of pickled radish the server refilled us each time lol. Strong recommend. They also do take out which is great.
Amazing Valentine's Day & great KFC. Boyfriend was tragically disappointed by no longer having your buldak fried chicken 😭 #bringthemback would love a combo option so that non Koreans can taste your spicy dishes without committing 👌🏽
It was my first time trying this place which I kept hearing was great for fried chicken so I wanted to see what the hype was about. You have to reserve because it's always crowded so make sure you do.
When we got there, the place was indeed packed. We knew what we wanted to order so we ordered fairly quickly. We got the honey butter chicken with the truffle parmesan fries. The fries arrived first, & with them I asked for a pair of utensils. I tried the fries but they were cold, looked like they just threw a bunch of parmesan on it. No truffle taste whatsoever. I called the waiter & told them, they apologized & said they'll change it for us. & I re-asked for utensils that I still didn't get at that point. A few minutes later, the chicken came. It was a huge plate, so if you are two people, one plate is more than enough, & they looked absolutely delicious. I needed to wait for my utensils still. I asked another waiter who said they'll bring it right away. I never got my utensils until like 15 min later, when I was starting to get upset. The table in front of us was a large birthday table, with super loud people. They were really annoying we could barely hear ourselves talking.
The waiter brought us new fries which were better but still didn't taste like truffle.
The chicken was exquisite, very tasty & big pieces too.
I don't know if I would go again because the service wasn't great.
I recently dined at a Korean restaurant & tried the Yangnyeom Chicken. It was absolutely delicious-perfectly crispy with a flavorful spicy-sweet glaze. Highly recommend!

3.5 ⭐️ pour nous ! Les saveurs étaient au rendez vous. J'aurais donné 4.5⭐️ mais le seul hic pour nous était le service qui était anglophone seulement. & malgré ma réservation, ils ont faits passé 2 petits groupes avant nous & qui sont arrivés apres nous dans la file. Nous aurions aussi aimé 1 ou 2 choix végés dans les repas principaux même si leur spécialité est le poulet frit. Je recommande tout de même pour une ambiance chaleureuse.
It's a really fun & cozy place to go with a great atmosphere! I had the corn & cheese (best restaurant corn & cheese I've ever had) & The Padak Chicken boneless. It was served with a mountain of scallions. The chicken was super tender. I did like the chicken, but I think I would try another flavour next time! Their pickled daikon is really good too.
I invited my boyfriend here for his birthday, i thought that i might remind him of our trip to korea & it did! The atmosphere was warm & cozy, the food tasted amazing & the people working there were great! I was sad that there was no Yuk Sashimi tho. I thought the portions of the chicken were gonna be small but wow i didn't expected it to be worth the money. I will definitely come back to try more stuff from the menu!
My go-to place for Korean Fried chicken. Great quantity & nice service. Tried many different flavours & loved most of them. Highly recommend the yangnyeom, honey butter, & baby powder. I didn't like the angry bird too much. Definitely recommend everything else though. Mostly bought take out but atmosphere was very nice as well (especially the second floor).

Gamjatang & Chicken feet are so delicious, my favorites but the customer service is awful you have to "raise your hand" to order & pay bills, ask for more water & napkins & extra plates. The owner should fire guy waiters they're always chatting behind the bar, never come to quality check Oh i waited 10 mins for ice, guess what my coke was WARM lamo
Not only does the fried chicken taste good, it is also cheap! We always go as a group of 4+ people & order plenty of chicken (has to take home sometimes), & flavored soju (if available). Never costed us more than $30 all-in. They changed their menu recently a bit so some chicken flavors & side dishes were replaced with new ones. We'll see how the new stuffs are.
Good chicken, I recommend the butter honey chicken. It's a classic, you can't go wrong with it. Don't get the baby powder on your chicken. Thank me later.

I have visited this restaurant on several occasions & today I recommended it to my friends. We went to dinner & received terrible service. They made a mistake with our order & when we asked, there was no apology at any time (which surprises me) Very disappointing.
The chicken left us speechless!! They are tender, full of flavours, we each choose different flavour & they are all delicious! The soup is also very delicious! Recommend to reserve in advance if you plan to go out in weekends with friends!
We come here every time we visit Montreal. Their fried chicken is very crunchy on the outside & juicy on the inside 👌🏻. The teobokki & fish cake soup were amazing!
